Wood Mackenzie reviews

Hierarchy is important here. There are many layers of management and the deeply entrenched guard their seats expertly. Continuous reorganization is the constant motion (in place) that justifies the layers. Every firm has politics, but here the politics are the primary pursuit. Tenure is chiefly important and being male, white and born in the UK or Commonwealth conveys such advantage that it is not perceived. To those in positions to decide on promotion and resource allocation, this cherished set has earned what they've gotten because the lens has been so consistently applied over such a long period of time it just is no longer detectable as a bias. It has been implicitly agreed and reinforced. Surviving outside of the chosen demo is a function of pretending to be grateful for second class citizenship (perhaps a stretch to use citizen rather than subject). This is the way that building bridges justified rank imperialism. Could go on to the seamless integration of the British cad tradition and old fashioned Texas sexism but won't.

Where to begin....this company is just not as advertised. They say they provide a third-party, independent view on the industry when in reality the firm is more concerned about regurgitating whatever the oil companies are saying in an effort to appease their clients. This leads to the viewpoints being safe and behind the curve. By the time Wood Mackenzie says something it is so blatantly obvious to everyone that it means nothing. The company has a serious management problem. The analysts are really the only thing holding this place together. Management is totally out of touch and does not even know how to solve simple problems. Maybe this is because upper management is more concerned about someone's race and gender when considering promotions, instead of intelligence. This company is political and corrupt. Secrecy is common when dealing with basic issues that would be open in any other office environment. My manager was routinely rude to me and would single me out for no reason, this was obvious to all of my teammates. I went to HR to discuss what was happening...and I was fired the next day. Clearly, this place is corrupt. Clearly, this place is not concerned about analysts and their development. Who should work here? Wood Mac is not a career destination, it is more of a stepping stone or resume filler, especially for someone without business experience (geologists, engineers, etc.). Working here straight out of school is a big mistake. There is extremely high turnover here, and if your read what I wrote above I think it should be pretty clear why.
